finding:fragments-of-keratocytes-move-opposite-to-whole-cells-in-an-electric-fieldFragments of keratocytes move opposite to whole cells in an electric field.
From Sun et al. 2013; demonstrates that collective behavior can reverse individual behavior, illustrating top-down control.

- Keratocytes migrate to the cathode, but keratocyte fragments migrate to the anode (Sun et al. 2013)finding0.840Shows that collective behavior of an intact cell differs fundamentally from the behavior of its parts.
- In electric fields: intact keratocytes migrate to cathode, but fragments of the same cells migrate to anode—collective behavior differs from component behavior.

- Extends the scope of wholeness to quantum mechanics, interpreting the two-slit experiment through centers.
- Demonstrates that the clock phase is collectively determined; individual cells entrain to the local collective rhythm.
